Trees are a vital part of our heritage and our future. Trees grace our township streets, the hills that border Lopatcong to the east and north: Marble Hill and Scotts Mountain. They lend a peaceful elegance to our country roads.

It is our wish that these trees continue to be a visible, living sign of stewardship. They reflect the towns commitment to the beauty and quality of life we want for our families here in Lopatcong.

America has the grandest trees on Earth – the largest, the oldest and, we think, the most beautiful. The United States is blessed with a wealth of tree species – more than twice as many as all of Europe. This past Arbor Day our nation named the Oak as our national tree. It now takes it’s place with our other long enduring symbols that include the Bald Eagle, and the Star Spangled Banner.
